I was too lazy to organize my list for May or June so I kept one long list. So, here are three months of empties:

Foils

Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment - It was a mask. Nothing special or particularly memorable.

rms beauty the ultimate makeup remover wipes (x2) - I recently learned that coconut oil is a comedogenic, but I didn't have a problem. I used these while I was traveling when I came back late after having a rather fun evening. They worked to remove my makeup and moisturize in one step before finding my way to my bed. I wouldn't use them regularly though. The wipes were a little rough, which was weird.

Number 4 Restorative Masque - I really liked this mask. I have such dry hair, and it was definitely moisturizing. It's a little out of my price range.

CocoaPink Cocoa Mango Body Butter Paradise Found - From last summer's mermaid sampler. The formula and the scent are both fabulous. I'm so glad I now have a Paradise Found linen spray. It's beachy and coconutty and everything I want in the summer. I definitely will be picking up more Cocoa Mango Body Butter in the future. I think I like it more than the Voluptuous formula.

Josie Maran Argan Oil - My face loves this so much and I really miss it. I'm trying some different products for the time being.

Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream - I'm not a regular eye cream user, but I really like this. It moisturizes well without being heavy and it smells nice.

FCS Whipped Cream Blood Transfusion (2 oz mini) - I really liked this scent at first, but I got tired of it. It was so syrupy.

FCS Cuticle Oil One C - Sometimes FCS's new products are a flop. This was a total win for me. I want more. The scent wasn't my favorite, but I didn't mind it.

Kiss My Sass Beach Bum Wiggle Wash - MEH. I liked the scent, but this was a huge pain to actually use. It's a slippery mess. It was really moisturizing to shave with when I could get it to cooperate. I wouldn't buy any more of this.

HoG Sugar Exfoliant Sanctum - Liked the scent. It reminds me of roasted Starburst. I'm just not a huge fan of the sugar exfoliant. I prefer the bubbling scrub.

Full Size

ColourPop Eyeliner Timber - I want more of these. It was a nice, less dramatic departure from my usual black. My eyes are pretty watery and this liner stays put so well.

B&BW Sunlight and Apple Trees Foaming Hand Soap - I really liked this scent. Bright and sunny apples, perfect for fall and no spice notes to suggest the holidays.

HoG Pumpkin Butter Milkmaid - I wore this all spring long. It's so delicate and fresh and light. I will probably repurchase next year.

HoG Bubbling Scrub Suggah - I really liked the simplicity of this scent. It's basically just brown sugar and lemon. I would repurchase this if it were rereleased.

Simple Face Wipes - They do the trick. Nothing too memorable.

Yes to Cucumber Wipes - I prefer these to the Simple wipes. I like the light scent, and they leave my face clean. I will definitely repurchase these.

Caldrea Rosewater Driftwood Hand Soap - From a really old Popsugar box. I used half the bottle before I packed it up to move, and I recently pulled it back up to finish it. It got really thick and goopy. The scent was pleasant. It's out of my price range.

HoG Whipped Soap Tonic #4 - This smelled just like my garden, plus yuzu. I loved using it at first but it's on the strong side and I got tires of the scent.

Bath

Alchemic Muse Bath Melt Chamomile Tea - My first Alchemic Muse bath melt. It was so moisturizing, and the scent lasted through my bath and clung to my skin afterwards. Chamomile Tea was perfect for a bedtime bath.

LUSH Snow Fairy Wand - I am thrilled that this lasted for so many baths. It made my water delightfully pink and filled my bath with cotton candy scented bubbles. I will probably repurchase this Christmas.

L'Oreal EverPure Volume Shampoo - This was not moisturizing enough for my taste, although it cleansed my hair nicely. I'm still working on the conditioner, but I would not repurchase. (FS)

The Body Shop Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream - This used to be my favorite day moisturizer, but they changed it a bit and now it smells funny and feels more greasy. I won't repurchase. (FS)

Purity Facial Cleanser - I don't like this but I used it on my brushes. (SS)

Benefit Goof-Proof Brow Pencil - First of all, the sample size lasted me about five uses. Second, it really is easy to use. It is not as waterproof as my pomades, but going into fall, I won't be worried about that as much. I really liked this and bought a full size! (DS)

Lancome Genefique Youth Activating Concentrate - I don't like this, but I have about 50 samples, so. (SS)

Lush Sakura Bath Bomb - Smelled great and the water was pretty. Will repurchase this one. (FS)

Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Revitalising Gel-Lotion - Super calming and cooling, moisturized and smelled great. Would be very nice for oily skin, especially in summer or humidity. Loved this on its own or under makeup, and will definitely put it on my to-buy list. (SS)

Boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil-Gel - I like this, but since I last purchased it, I've found others I like more. Would probably not buy a FS at this time. (SS)

Hourglass Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint - I had the shade Nude which was about one shade too deep for me, but I really liked this product. I considered purchasing the FS, but since Hourglass came out with their stick foundations, I think I will hold off. (SS)

Lush Twilight Bath Bomb - Another really nice one, this one was scented well, and I will repurchase. (FS)

Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer - REALLY good. I would highly, highly recommend this primer for anyone with dry skin. It is moisturizing but not greasy, and I found it held my foundation better than the Too Faced HangoveRX primer. I don't need the moisture, but if I did, I would repurchase a FS in a heartbeat. (DS)

drybar Triple Sec - One of my HG hair products, I am already using my backup and need to get another. (FS)

Yes to Blueberries Cleansing Facial Wipes - Not my favorite. This leave a weird residue on my skin. I prefer the Yes to Tomatoes. (FS)

Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream - I really liked this, I thought it helped my skin retain moisture for sure. I will buy a FS when the Sephora sales roll around again. (SS)

Lush The Comforter Bubble Bar - Will repurchase. (FS)

BBW GFHS in Seaside Sunrise - Sweet and citrus-y, just what I like. (FS)

BBW Shower Gel - French Lavender & Honey. I don't care much for this scent, and probably would not repurchase. (TS)

Sephora Age-Defy Moisture Cream SPF 15 - This was nice for a day cream. I liked it better than the night version. It absorbed well and the SPF didn't make me feel greasy. Depending on price, I might purchase a FS. (SS)

Origins Checks and Balances Foaming Face Wash - I LOVED this so much, I went and bought a FS before my sample was gone! Leaves my skin squeaky clean at night, ready for skincare! (SS)

Verb Leave-In Mist - First of all, this "mist" came in a sample packette, so, uh, that was odd. It is hard to tell if it did anything, but it didn't make my hair worse so that's something. (SS)

Hourglass Veil Primer - This is HG and I already have a FS, I just used a sample that came in a Sephora order. (SS)

Eyelure No. 20 Multipack - Probably my favorite for a natural lash look. Will definitely repurchase, but fyi the glue that comes with them sucks. (FS)

PTR Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Cleansing Gel - This smelled good but that was all I liked. Greasy, gooey, hard to rinse... I would not purchase this. (DS)

MUFE HD Powder - I guess it was fine, did not seem all that amazing. Wouldn't purchase. (DS)

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads - These are HG and I've already opened a new tub. (FS)

Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil - I might buy this the next time I need to restock on oils. It smells amazing, and a teeny bit took all my makeup off. It's a good one. (SS)

Up & Up Refreshing Cleansing Towelettes - Remember how last time hated the Up & Up exfoliating towlettes? These were slightly better, but very dry. I wouldn't repurchase. (FS)

Marc Jacobs (O)Mega Lash - This is my HG mascara. I have a backup, although right now I am using the Korres mascara, and I really like it. (FS)

CocoaPink Enda w/Benefits - I have the scent Black Blood, my favorite from CP. I don't know how I felt about this product though. It made my hair smell fantastic, but didn't seem to condition my hair. I'm thinking about it. (FS)

OMG IM GETTING NEAR THE END-ISH!!!

Stila Stay-All-Day Black Liquid Liner - Not a liner I would choose for myself. I did not find it to be waterproof, and it wasn't very black. I still love the Jesse's Girl liner. (FS)

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Concealer - Despite the hype, I would not recommend or repurchase this. It was too thin, and smeared easily. There are better concealers from both drugstore AND highend brands, so pass on this one. (FS)

NARS Soft Velvet Loose Powder in Snow - Okay, so I have had this since NARS launched this product, and I hate it. I just hate it. It makes my skin look dry and crepe-y, not plump or youthful at all. I was finally able to use it up by using it to bake my contour, where the texture of my skin was flat and normal. I would NOT recommend this. It's terrible. (FS)

EO Lavender Hand Sanitizer - I need to buy a new one! I keep forgetting every time I am near Whole Foods. Best sanitizer ever. (FS)

Black Violet Candied Roof Lip Whip - I really liked this. I used it for moisture while I did my makeup. Definitely one of the products I would repurchase from BV. (FS)

Degree DrySpry in Sexy Intrigue - I don't know how I had this, but I did not care for it. (FS)

Dior Instant Gentle Cleansing Oil - This worked AMAZING, but smells TERRIBLE. It did not burn my eyes at all, and took off all my makeup, so if you can stand your face smelling like an old woman's closet, you might like this! (FS)

Tom Ford Noir - Already own FSYSL Black Opium - Own rollerballCommodity Gold - Very nice, a good floral gourmand, but not for me.Givenchy PLAY pour Homme - Not my favorite Givenchy men's scent, but not bad. Sporty and fresh.

Milk Makeup Sunshine Oil (deluxe): this was nice! Smelled really nice like citrus and moisturizes well. However it is expensive for what it is. Not sure I'd buy it but I did enjoy it.

Anastasia Brow Definer in medium brown (full size): this shape was interesting. Personally I liked it but I have borderline caterpillar brows already. If you have tiny brows I think this could go sharpie or crayon brows REAL quick, as it was difficult to get small strokes once the tip wore down (that sounds far dirtier than it is).

Armani Supreme Reviving Cream (foil): nobody needs to spend $400 on a moisturizer so I ain't even gonna comment on this.

Sixteen92 perfume in Black Sugar (trial vial): ok this was odd on me. Started out super sweet like candy. Then DIRT LIKE OMG I SMELL LIKE A WORM. My skin amp'd that dirt SO HARD. It mellowed down into a sort of warmer candy after about 30 minutes but I don't know if that 30 minutes of smelling like straight up dirt was worth it.

Urban Decay Perversion mascara (deluxe): this was ok. Super black, gave decent volume, ok length. Dried up super fast on me though so not sure I'd buy it. I also tend to like drier formulas which this was not.

Hairmax for Density Shampoo (full size): this was good! I do think it made my hair a little thicker. Did not like the smell, it smelled vaguely of medicinal toothpaste but I would consider repurchasing since it made my Gollum level hair look less Gollum.

Cocoa Pink Argan Therapy Conditioner in Cinderella's Carriage (full size, and the bigger one): I have professed my love for this product before and OMFG THIS SCENT. Please smell this. Order a sample, something just please smell this. Marshmallow, vanilla, and a tiny bit of pumpkin. Will 100% rebuy this product and this scent again. Smells SO GOOD.

Notoriously Morbid Coffin Kisser in freshly squeezed (full size): I like the coffin kisser but I am not a fan of the oval tubes. They're so soft that I feel like the skinnier ovals make it kind of like smoosh all over. Smelled exactly like orange juice which I liked.

B&BW Ultra Shea Cream in Hawaiiin Passionfruit or something (full size): love these lotions, always rebuy. This scent was sweet and summery and would rebuy and have repurchased numerous times. Idk if they still have it now though.

Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash (full size): I quite like this. It is an extremely basic cleanser which is exactly what I want in the morning. No exfoliating, no taking my makeup off, just a basic, gentle face wash. Cheap and easily available, I will continue to purchase it.

Sunday Riley Good Genes (deluxe): FML I loved this. Idk what is in this but I love the eff out of it. It's $105. I will spend that on it, I like it that much. The smell is basically terrible but I will look past it. It made me brighter, made my forehead wrinkle look better, kept me breakout free....completely fantastic. Damn it.

Dr. Jart PoreMinimalist Sheet Mask: this is black and makes you look like you're being real offensive tbh. As a mask it was fine. Not convinced sheet masks do anything but they feel nice. My pores looked the same.

Bath and Body Works lotion in Georiga Peach and Sweet Tea (full size): favorite scent of all time, see last month.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in deep/dark brown (full size): I go through this like water and truly can not live without it.

Smashbox Photofinish Primer (foil): has anyone not tried this at this point? And would anyone ever need to buy it? I swear they give this away on every order ever.

Fresh Soy Face Wash (deluxe): this breaks me out. Google tells me it's potentially the soybean oil in it. It's gentle which I like but can not deal with the breakouts. Pass.

Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara (deluxe): this is just ok for me. I like what it does to my lashes but it flakes like crazy on me. I do want to try the new waterproof version though.

Clinique Moisture Surge (deluxe): I liked this! Left my face a little bit sticky but I used it at night (no spf) so I don't really mind. Lightweight and worked well. I would consider purchasing this.

Dior Addict lip glow (foil): this was ok. One of those color changing things that ended up a mid tone pink on me. Wasn't super moisturizing. Color was nice but nothing special. Wouldn't buy it.

Parlor Moisturizing Sea Salt Spray (deluxe): I sort of liked this but I disagree strongly with the moisturizing part. It worked wel, helped my hair maintain some texture and I feel like it made it thicker too but holy crap did this dry out my hair. My hair is straw to begin with so I'm probably not the best judge but....wouldn't buy.

American Classics Gelous top coat (full size): this is THE BEST top coat for glitter polish. I hate bumpy nail polish and this smoothed out glitter and textured polish like a dream. About 1/4 of it left but it got goopy and gross, it was about a year old though so I ain't mad. Not too expensive either. I will repurchase next time I drag my lazy ass to Sally's.

Julie G nail polish in Rock Candy (full size): I HATE textured polish but this was a freaking DREAM. Went on so easily, the color is insanely gorgeous. Unfortunately I do not have Rite Aid here so can't get Julie G unless it's online. I probably wouldn't go through the online ordering process for it but I did really enjoy it!!

Nesting has kicked in big time and I'm in the process of cleaning out both bathrooms. I am baby proofing one (moving the medicine up to a high cabinet) and cleaning out the other to make room for baby stuff. I also have a hall closet with products that got cleaned out as well. This is a work in progress as I'm not completely finished yet.

Lol. Most of this is old stuff, things I know I'll never use, and stuff that I tried that didn't work. I also have some things to go to my makeup junkie friend at work, and I'll probably have a ton more for her before I'm finished.

At this point, I won't need to buy any toiletries for a year or more...lol! Starting in September, I'm going to keep track of individual empties again.

I wouldn't worry. First baby I couldn't tell the difference between BH and regular baby movements. Retrospectively I realized my water broke during one and I had no idea 😂 I also had experienced moms tell me during them that I was wrong. This baby, however, is giving me painful/uncomfortable ones all the flipping time. My doctors take was they get more noticeable each time, and painful is normal. #crankypregnantlady

In short, maybe you feel them, maybe you won't. How labor feels is also so different to each mom! I hope you're as comfortable as a lady with baby in her can be 😊

I'm actually not that uncomfortable right now. Sleeping is hard, because I try to roll over and I get pain in my belly and chest, but for the most part, I feel really good. I'm starting to get tired again, though. Friday I spend a good part of the day cleaning, then I slept most of the day yesterday...lol. So the bathrooms are still a work in progress. But I made a huge dent in them so it shouldn't take me long to finish.

Simple micellar water: I love love love this for removing eye makeup. I've already repurchased it.Haus of Gloi strawberry lime lip balm I'm just not a fan of HoG's lip balm formula. I've had several and I wouldn't buy it again.Living Proof No Frizz hair styling cream This was just a deluxe sample size but I've used the full size before. I don't remember why I stopped buying it tbh.Shea Moisture 10-in-1 restoring shampoo I just love this stuff. Since I've been using it regularly, my hair is much less frizzy.Philosophy Purity cleanser I like this stuff but it isn't worth the price tag-- I'll only buy when Ulta/Sephora have it for $10 around the holidays. Garnier Whole Blends conditioner I had this in the coconut scent in the blue bottle and it just didn't do anything for my hair.Neutrogena oil free moisturizer My HG moisturizer for daytime! Already repurchased.Sephora eye mask I got a pomegranate one and I like using them. Nothing special.

Nivea Touch of Smoothness body wash (full size): SO GLAD this is gone. This was old. Like I don't want to say how old. I mainly used it when I showered in the morning and didn't want my soap to interfere with perfume. I typically shower at night so I didn't use it much. It was a fine body wash but there's scents I like a lot better. I got this, uh, years ago for super cheap with a coupon from CVS.

Femme Fatal Party Grenade nail polish (full size): tiny bit left but it dried out. This was a mylar-shard topper thing, it was pretty!

Paula's Choice 2% BHA Skin Perfecting Liquid (full size): Ok this stuff. I used it for a while, didn't think it was doing anything great for my skin. My skin doesn't tend to love salicylic acid which this is, but it wasn't hurting my skin either so figured I would use it up. However I realized something about 2 months in. I tend to break out on my chin really badly during shark week. Like deep, painful pimples along my jaw line, like clockwork, every month. I realized I hadn't for the past 2 months. A tiny pimple on my chin yes, but not the deep monsters that usually pop up. Is it related to this product? I do not know, but I'm not gonna test it, so have already repurchased and am working through another full size.

Lush Porridge soap (sample bar): used this while travelling, it was ok. Had little scrubbie things in it. Smelled kind of caramel-ish. I wouldn't buy it.

Purity Made Simple face wash (foil): HG, always have this, just used a foil while travelling.

Bumble and Bumble (h)air styler cream (deluxe): I actually really liked this. I've been trying to lay off the heat on my hair for the last month or so and embrace the natural wave. This helped with wave definition and didn't make my hair crunchy at all. It also smelled fantastic. Haven't liked the stuff I'm using in place of it nearly as much as I did this. I am 80% sure I am going to purchase this.

Paula's Choice Clear Daily Mattifying Fluid (full size): This was ok. It was SUPER thin, like consistency of water thin. Used it as a day moisturizer. I am not that oily so I can't say much about the matte part. It was borderline not enough moisture for me. Would be terrible in the winter. Might be better if you're oily. Sunscreen always a plus. Didn't break me out. Idk why I bought this tbh, I think this was the result of an alkie-haul via online shopping one night. Wouldn't re-buy but will continue to buy other PC moisturizers.

Hourglass Illusion skin tint (foil): Mixed emotions on this. One, this is not a tint. This is thick and pretty full coverage, which I was not expecting. Initial application this was BEAUTIFUL. Left me dewey and looking like a goddess, not cakey at all. Immediately thought this would be new HG, jumped on Sephora to buy it. Hesitated at the price ($56) and decided to think on it a bit first (no buy is working!!! I am using logic!!) As it wore through the day, this left me greaaaaaaaaaaaaaasy. I'm not usually oily, although it's been fairly warm here and I've been a little shiny sometimes, but this was like....super shiny especially on my nose. I think I might like it in the winter. Would not recommend if you're oily. I'm going to try and get a sample once it gets frozen here and try it again as it is a very pretty foundation.

Bobbi Brown CC Cream (deluxe): No. Lasted like an hour, went on patchy and weird. Felt like it sat on top of my skin vs sinking in. Would not buy.

Loreal Infallible Pro Matte Foundation (full size): I really like this foundation. I don't find it wears as long as they claim it to, but I can get a decent 6-7 hours out of it. Sheers out nicely with a beauty blender and doesn't look too heavy. Shade (102) was a hair too light right now since I'm kind of tan (tan for me is like...NW25 vs 20). Wasn't overly matte, overall just a really solid foundation and one I could go to when I knew I needed something that would work. I have another one of these in a shade that is wayyyyyy too dark from when I was spray tanned last year. I'll continue to use that one mixing it in with too light foundations, and will probably end up re-purchasing this.

Fyrinnae Pixy Epoxy (deluxe): Le sigh. I'm sorry, really I am. I can't get into this. I know this is everyone's HG and it's going to make your indie shadows amazing and duochromes be poppin and all that. I can't. I just can't. I tried using a little, I tried using a lot, I tried over primer, I tried it alone, I tried patting, I tried sweeping. I feel like every time it just made my eye shadow patchy and hard to blend. I'd prefer to use a regular primer for eye shadow, and for glitter I vastly prefer GDE Glitter Fix, or even the TF Glitter Glue. Sadly, would not repurchase.

Fortune Cookie Soap OCD Hand Sanitizer in Glitz and Glamour (purse size): This was fine, it smelled like Christmas and had glitter in it. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy these, B&BW is cheaper and easier to get.

Bath and Body Works Ultra Shea Moisture Cream in Forever Sunshine (full size): HG lotion, love this scent. Smells like a warm kind of lemony scent. I don't know if they still have this, but I would buy it again.

Skin Inc Pure Deep Sea Hydrating Mask (foil): First off, this is a clear gel, which is not my immediate thought when I hear "moisture mask" so that was odd. I left it on overnight. It was fine. Didn't do anything good or bad, wouldn't buy.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer (foil x2): Ok. This was a 3 pack foil sample thing. Tried light neutral first. HATTTTTTED IT. OMG no. Was super light (shade wise), felt like it settled into every freaking line I had and bunched up in my inner corners, even when I set it. Decided to give it another chance and used the medium light neutral shade. Much better color match and it made me like it better. Didn't find it so accentuating and didn't seem to crease as badly. Maybe it was just less noticeable since it wasn't as stark of a color difference. Still makes me leery though as I will be this shade for appx 2 more weeks and then back to pale and that light shade....nah son. Probably won't buy it.

Cotz Sunscreen (foil): Had the consistency of a pore filling primer but saw zero pores filled. Also had a tint, but disappeared once rubbed in, not like it had coverage at all. Used it when I was outside all day and I didn't get burned though so I guess it served its purpose well!

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray (deluxe): Love this, I truly do feel it makes a difference for me in how long my makeup lasts. Already have a full size going, just finished this one off to finish it up and have one less thing in the sample box.

La Mer Soft Cream (foil): OH JFC. Ok this is the hokiest thing of all time. "rub it between your fingers to release the miracle broth...." come on. It's also insanely, ridiculously expensive. But DAMNED if I didn't think my face looked FANTASTIC for the 3 days this foil lasted me. Like I don't know I feel like for those 3 days my skin just looked GOOD, my makeup went on so nicely.....is it the miracle broth, or the psychological effect of knowing you're putting $170/oz face cream on?? I do not know, but I'm actually considering purchasing the half ounce size for $85. This is terrible news.

It's a 10 Miracle Leave In Light (full size): I thoroughly enjoyed this. I do not like the regular version. I like the keratin one but don't want to overload my hair with protein. This is a happy medium. Detangles well, as I mentioned I've been doing no heat so I just wide tooth comb my hair, this helps immensely. Doesn't weight my hair down. Feels like it made it a bit softer. I miss it now that its gone, and will probably pick one up next time I'm at Ulta.

Yay August is over! (I know, a week late to the party but I've been out of town a lot.)

Full size:Anastasia – Clear Brow Gel: It’s very rare for me to have an empty makeup item. This is THE BEST for curly/crazy eyebrows. The gel holds really well. I was introduced to it through a sub box (can’t remember which), and I can’t believe I’d never known about it before. It’s one of the few products I use every single day.

MAC – Chintz Lipstick: I think this is the first lipstick I ever wore down to the end. I usually lose them! This color was okay, but I won’t repurchase.

Tony Moly – Makgeolli Skin Purifying Mask: This was very hydrating, per usual. Lots of product, as there was a ton leftover to rub in once I removed the sheet. It left my skin a little sticky feeling though.

Lush – American Cream Lotion: This was lightweight, but a little too greasy feeling. The scent was a lovely vanilla cream – just like the conditioner by the same name. I don’t think I’ll repurchase though.

Lush – Parsley Porridge Soap: I love this herbal scent, and wish it came in a gel form.

Lush – Mumkin Bubble Bar: This is one of the cutest products I’ve seen. It has a sweet citrus and kind of floral scent. It produced lots of bubbles, and added a pretty pink color to the water. I can’t wait for it to come back to the Kitchen!

Lush – A Gold Star Bubble Bar: This reminded me a lot of Sunny Side with lots of shimmery gold.

Fortune Cookie Soap – In The Loop Bath Bomb: This is one of my favorite scents. It smells just like Fruit Loops cereal. Although the bath bomb was a good size, the scent got lost in the full tub of water. It did make the water a nice deep blue color. The fruit loops on the bath bomb are made of soap, and you can actually use them to cleanse your skin! I liked it, but wouldn’t repurchase at the price point due to the lack of scent.

Fortune Cookie Soap – Wendy Bird Aloe Me Body Whip: These products are AMAZING! It was so smart to pair aloe with lotion. My skin loves to soak it up after a day on the beach/by the pool. This scent was a little too sweet for me, but I’ve already stocked up on other scents.

Deluxe Size:Lush – Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair Shower Gel: Whew that’s a long name! This lathered really well, and had a nice floral, and sort of fruity scent.

First Aid Beauty – Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask: I got two uses out of this sample. It only takes 10 minutes, so I wore it in the bath. It felt a little icky, but otherwise was nice to use. Washing off in the tub was easy, but I think it would be messy at the sink. I won’t purchase.

Bumble & Bumble – Curl Custom Conditioner: This did a decent job of softening my hair, but I still prefer Davines Love Conditioner or Amika’s Nourishing Mask (used as a regular conditioner).

Shiseido – Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion: I think I finally found my face sunscreen! It smells floral, and not like typical sunscreen. It applied easily, and offered excellent protection. I used to shy away from such high SPF, but I get enough sun that I think this is necessary.

Kiehl’s – Daily Reviving Concentrate: I think this is meant to be the day version of the midnight recovery oil. I just used it at night and it was great!

Tossed:Lush – Million Dollar Moisturizer: I didn’t like the smell, and it was SO GREASY. It also had a weird shimmer to it. My roommate loves this though, so maybe it was just a bad sample.

Lush – The Sun Solid Perfume: Not a fan of this scent, or solid perfumes.

Caudalie – Divine Legs: This was nice at first for a subtle tan, but it separated after a few months and leaves my legs streaky.

Not pictured:Lush – Golden Wonder Bath Bomb: Huge, and added lots of skin softening ingredients to the water. The water was a beautiful turquoise with golden shimmer.

Full SizeCrest ProHealth Advanced Mouthwash - My favorite whitening mouthwash, although I will tell you a secret. I prefer the version WITH alcohol, instead of the alcohol-free. Just a preference, I guess.Yes to Tomatoes detoxifying charcoal facial wipes - My new favorite face wipe. It smells so good, and it is black, lol, which makes me feel like it really works. This is NOT good at removing eye makeup, though, the downside.BBW Gentle Foaming Hand Soap - The scent was Deep Sea Wonders, which makes me giggle, but smelled pretty good.Suave 24Hour Protection antiperspirant deodorant - Picked this up at the dollar store when I was desperate for deodorant. Worked about as well as you'd expect.Supergoop Defense Refresh Setting Mist - I've had two of these (the first I returned) and the pump stopped working on both of them. The pump also stopped working on my Supergoop sunscreen oil, so I think the pump is the problem, not the product. I can't say how well this works as a setting spray, because NOTHING works for me, but this really does add an amazing level of protection to your sunscreen. I think it is worth buying for that.BBW Gentle Foaming Hand Soap - Blushing Tulips and Peonies. Not my favorite, wouldn't repurchase this scent.BBW Aromatherapy Sleep Warm Milk & Honey Body Wash & Foam Bath - Love this. Love using it as a bubble bath. My third favorite Aromatherapy scent. Would repurchase.Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic - No noticeable results. Would not recommend, would not repurchase.BBW Gardenia & Fresh Rain Shower Gel - Loved the scent, very fresh and pleasant. Definitely should have purchased more in the scent.LUSH Frozen Bath Bomb - Definitely a fave, and will repurchase!Boscia Charcoal Pore-Minimizing Hydrogel Mask - My face was really breaking out due to stress, and this was one of the only purifying products I had available to me. It worked really well! Definitely helped with texture and to calm some pimples.NYX HD Concealer in CW01 Porcelain - Was decent. Not the worst drugstore concealer. Would repurchase if there were a sale or promo.Yes to Blueberries Age Refresh cleansing facial wipes - DO NOT like these. They leave a nasty film on your face that smells and is very uncomfortable.Alchemic Muse Ostara Hair Mist - One of my favorite products in one of my favorite scents. I love this as a leave-in conditioner. Too bad Ostara scent was discontinued.Notoriously Morbid Krampus Kisser - I didn't want to toss the tube because I loved the picture! Not a huge fan of the flavor, but the product was nice.Black Violet Shower Melt - I'm not sure if that was the name... this came in a sub box. It was fine. I didn't love it, but it did create a nice scent.

Deluxe SamplesAcure Pore Minimalizing Facial Scrub - I didn't like this. Would not purchase FS.GlamGlow Flashmud Brightening Treatment - LOVE. My second favorite GlamGlow mask, will definitely purchase at some point. Made my skin SO smooth and bright!LUSH Dark Angels cleanser - My favorite from LUSH. Will definitely purchase a FS when I can (it's been OOS in stores lately).LUSH Yuzu and Cocoa Shower Cream - Nah. Not a fan. Didn't like the scent.Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme - One of my favorites from Atelier. I have another of these DS bottles, luckily, so I won't have to buy a FS anytime soon.Farmacy Rise 'n Shine Daily Moisture Lock - Everything I have tried from the brand is good, this is my favorite. Purchased FS already.YSL Babydoll mascara - Really, really good! I might buy a FS, for now I'm going to try the L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black, which is supposed to be a dupe.BareMinerals 5 in 1 BB Cream Eyeshadow - LOVE this stuff, I have a whole smorgasbord of DS samples. This color was the more wine-colored shade and it made a nice base on its own or for darker eyeshadows.Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon x2 - The best eyeliner, in my opinion. I used up the shades Blaquer and Brown(out) and both were good.

Foil SamplesTatcha Balanced Water Gel Moisturizer - Pass. I think this brand is overrated.Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Radience Lotion - This is good. I would buy FS.Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Pore Minimizer - It's good, not my favorite.Ole Henriksen Truth Serum AM - No.Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Treatment PM - No.Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation AM/PM - This is a maybe. I actually just really dislike the brand as a whole.Skin, INC Pure Revival Peel - Yes!! So amazing! I've been waiting for this to come back in stock on Sephora.Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream - Gross. Gimmicky, not moisturizing for my skin AT ALL, and smells like rotten cottage cheese. I wouldn't put this on my face again if you paid me.Goldfaden MD Needle-less Line Smoothing Concentrate - I think you'd have to use this a lot to see any sort of result, so no thanks.Sephora Mud Mask Purifying and Mattifying - YES!!! This was the other item I used on my breakouts, as a spot treatment, and it worked just as well as the GlamGlow mask! It smelled amazing, too. I will definitely purchase a FS of this.Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser - This was a nice, daily cleanser that didn't burn my eyes or leave residue. I would purchase a FS if I had need of one.Fresh Soy Face Cleanser - Already own FS of this.Anthony Glycolic Exfoliating & Resurfacing Wipes - I would buy these to use as a treatment once or twice a week. They were strong enough I could feel it working, but didn't leave my face burning and red.Sephora Colorful Blush in N*5 Sweet on You! - A pretty blush with a nice formula, but nothing special. The color was a warm peach hue.YSL Touche Eclate Trio - Numbers 1, 2, and 4.5, the only one I would consider purchasing is 1, it made a nice color corrector under my eyes.

Throwing AwayWet 'n' Wild Color Icon Bronzer and Blush in Hold Me Close - Just not a good color. The "bronzer" was too pale to bronze, but too dark to be a face powder and the blush was a boring, generic color. I've tried to make this work for THREE years, and I am giving up.Perricone, MD No Foundation Foundation serum - A DS that was a bit too dark, so I didn't use it often and it has separated and gone nasty.Wen Re Moist Intensive Hair Treatment - Never even opened. Goodbye.Wen Styling Creme - THis might actually be okay to use, but I don't want any of this brand hanging around. Bye bye.

That's it! Whew, I think I rambled a lot this time. I hope I can go back to monthly empties soon!

If it counts I went through a Bath and Body Works 3 wick candle in two weeks. I lit it at work for a few hours a day. It was the Chocolate Pistachio and everyone loved it. I had to buy a back-up. Smells salty and nutty with a hint of chocolate. Delish!

Lush – Violet Nights Bath Oil: I loved using this. It paired nicely with other items, like the Ultra Violet Bubble Bar from Lush. It added lots of extra moisture.

Lush – Ocean Salt Face & Body Scrub: This is my HG face exfoliator. I love to use it in the shower. It isn’t too harsh, and so I can use it almost every day.

Deluxe Size:The Body Shop – Coconut Body Scrub: I liked this product because it was creamy and moisturizing, and the beads did a decent job exfoliating. However, the scent was a little too synthetic. I won’t repurchase.

Shiseido – Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate: I love this serum, and will continue to purchase the full size. It smells so nice and is really lightweight.

Foils:Kristals – Rose Quartz Hydrating Cream: I was handed a sample of this while in Aspen, and knew it was a gimmick to get me in the store. I kept walking and forgot all about it until this month. It was surprisingly nice to use, but oddly smelled like sunscreen. This is way overpriced though, and I would never purchase. It’s literally $200.

Purple Cat Creatives body butter in Raven's blend (deluxe): I liked this. I know there was some drama with her use of bases a few years back but I'm really not that picky. If it smells good and it works and you're not an asshole, I'll buy. This smells strongly of chocolate and coffee. Formula moisturizes well and absorbed quickly. I don't know if I'd repurchase this scent but I would buy from her again.

Soap and Glory Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub (full size): THIS SMELLS SO GOOD. Smells like a delicious waffle with a hint of banana and a lot of maple. Seriously so good. As a scrub I liked it, but it was a litttttle slippery. Like the gel the scrubbies were in was a bit thin so a lot ended up on the shower floor. I would repurchase but I like Tree Hut better and it's cheaper. I have however ordered the lotion in this scent because IT SMELLS SO GOOD.

Mario Badescu Hylauranic Eye Cream (full size): this was fine. Didn't do any miracles for me but I do think it helped keep my under eyes moisturized and smooth. It's relatively cheap so I would consider purchasing this again.

Whish body lotion in Pommegranate (deluxe): no. No no no no no. This smells good and that's about all I can say. Doesn't absorb for SHIT like I literally had to press this into my skin because if I rubbed (no matter how small of an amount I used) it would just smear white lotion all over me. Girl I am not skinny ain't nobody got time to be sitting there pressing lotion into my skin for 15 minutes after I shower. Would never buy.

Erno Laszlo cleansing oil (deluxe): this smells VERY dudely. Like straight up aftershave scent. It worked fine, it got my makeup off but I still went in with a normal cleanser after this. I do feel like it left me less dry than when I just used cleanser. Nice enough to use, wouldn't buy.

Etude House collagen sheet mask: it was a sheet mask.

Wet N Wild Mega Last lipstick in Fergie Daily (full size): I like this. It was a pretty nude and empty lipsticks make me SO HAPPY. This did pull far more brown on me than most photos I've seen online so I usually put a pink gloss on top. Idk if they make this anymore since fergie like quit or whatever but it's also $1 so I'd rebuy it if they had it. When I need lipstick. Which is gonna be like 2072.

NARS Laguna bronzer (single use card): this was more like a week of use. I like Laguna but it's typically a little too dark for me. I have a deluxe size I will use, I wouldn't buy it. I don't like it better than PF Bronzers which are significantly cheaper.

Kate Somerville eye makeup remover (foil): this is supposed to be like eyelash conditioner or something too but my eyelashes felt the same. I mean it's a foil, tho. It's super thick which felt like putting moisturizer on my eyes which I did not enjoy. Wouldn't buy.

Savor creme fraiche soap in apricot cream (mini size): MEHHHHHHHHHH! I like Savor overall but my GOD is her stuff hit or miss. This was definitely a miss. This one was super stiff consistency wise, and smelled like basically nothing. Idk what an apricot even smells like but this just smelled like nada. I'll probably buy from her again since some of her stuff I love but I wish she was more consistent

Phyto Botanical scalp elixir (single use vial thing): OMG SO MANY THINGS TO SAY. Ok so this comes in this vial thing that looks like a pipette. You break off the tip and put it in your hair and it's supposed to make your scalp feel like Jesus himself done rubbed it, make your products work better etc. one: said vial is made of VERY thick plastic which feels borderline like glass. Meaning you feel like you're about to break glass and chop your fingers off when you open it, which was terrifying. Two: THE SMELL. I can't put into words how strongly this smelled of medicinal tea tree. I don't live in a mansion but I live in a normal size 2 bedroom townhouse. I am dead ass serious when I say this smelled up my entire house. It was so strong that my husband slept on the couch because he said it was giving him a headache even after I washed it out. I shit you not, my house smelled for TWO DAYS . It did make my roots like nice but I literally have never used such a strongly scented product (of ANY KIND including wax and candles) IN MY LIFE.

LaVanilla Healthy Deoderant in vanilla coconut (full size): this was not gone, it was dried up. Why? Cuz this shit don't work lol. I used it once on a NOT hot day. I do not work a physically demanding job. By like 2pm I was smelling RIPE SON. I read reviews that are like "oh you have to apply twice a day". Chile I am not carrying around a damn tube of deoderant in my purse to use for touch ups in my cubicle. Especially when I can buy a deoderant that doesn't need that for 1/3 of the price. Yeah it might give me cancer but what isn't going to give me cancer these days? I'll risk it to not smell like ass. Sry.

Bumble and Bumble BB curl creme (I'm calling this deluxe since it was actually a 1/2 full bottle a friend gave me): I liked this! Helped define my curls but it didn't weigh my hair down which I am grateful for. I am #blessed with wavy yet thin hair and most products made for curls are so thick and moisturizing they turn me into a drowned rat. This didn't. Also smelled fantastic and didn't leave any crunch. I'd buy it.

L'Oréal brow stylist definer in medium brown (full size): I like this. I don't think it stays quiiiiiite as well as ABH but it's decent. Very tiny and the spoolie is nice. I do however prefer the NYX micro brow to this and it's about the same price so if I wanted someThing cheaper than ABH I would go for NYX.

Smashbox photo finish 24 hour eye primer (full size): I liked this. I don't think this was FANTASTIC like some people think it is. I mean not that that's wrong,it just wasn't my experience. Kept my eyeshadow on as in no creasing but I felt like it faded by the end of the work day color-wise. I like NARS pro prime better. Would maybe rebuy.

Clinique Super Primer universal face primer (full size): I like this. It's not my favorite but I do enjoy it. Zero silicone feel, it feels like a moisturizer. Only need a tiny bit. I do feel it helps keep my makeup on. I tend to prefer pore fillers but I like to give the old pores a breather every once in a while and I would repurchase for that purpose.

Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 101 (full size): TWO EMPTY LIPPIES! This was nice. Pretty midtone cool pink. Matte but not drying. I love the smell of these but I know a lot don't. Kinda smells like an elderly jolly rancher. See fergie comments on repurchase.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple face wash (full size) H-est of HG, I will literally never NOT have this.

Anyway I didn't have very many empties this month. I think I deleted my list by accident. I remember using up:

Kiehls Creme de Corps lotion: I got this as compensation for a L'oreal review I did at least a year ago. It was good stuff but I currently can't justify spending the money. My Bath & Body Works true blue spa lotion works nearly as well.

Bath & Body Works Tangelo Woods foam bath/shower gel: I really, really liked this scent! It was part of the aromatherapy line and it was the "boost" scent. It was definitely nice and tart without being overly fruity.
